What's New?

Wow! Where the heck have I been the past few months?! I miss you guys so much! It seems like I haven't been around in forever, which may be close to the truth.

Back in August, I moved to Houston, TX. I accepted a position at a private church school teaching in the high school. I teach four levels of English, and then World History, and World Geography. I have such great kids & ia fantastic supporting staff. I couldn't ask for a better staff my first year out. Overall, I love my job. Like all jobs, it can be stressful. Late work, struggling students, all the things students stress teachers out with. The school I am at is currently fundraising to help pay our debt, which is also a frustrating.

I moved not knowing anyone but my principal and one other teacher, but even at that, I had only met them at my interview. Being the social person I am, not knowing many people was hard. Since then, I have made a few friends, but most are from school and some from church. The majority of my time is spent working on things for school - lesson plans, grading, fundraising, etc. My spare time is spent mostly with a friend of mine & her family. We go walking 2-3x per week, cook together, & do fun stuff at night. She has been fantastic.

When I graduated from college, I graduated without any credit. I never had a credit card in college & graduated without any debts, which meant I would have no credit. Which means I still don't have cable or internet, which I why I haven't been on here in months

I hope everyone is doing fantastic! Email me, find me on fb, call me, something!

wow Deb, nice to hear from you and nice to know you're doing OK despite the stress. Hope everything continues well for you, and I'm sure many peeps here echo that. =] Hope somewhere along the line you can get internet access so you can pop in more regularly. Best of luck. =]

hey ya deb!!!!!

it is wonderful to hear you are doing well......yayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! no internet or cable......not the end of the world.....and you have survived......and the more you get out......well the more peeps you will meet.....but for now....cooking together and walking with your friend.....that sounds cool........you could hand out flyers on your walks......they could say 'new in town...looking for friends'.....and then of course put your number on there......imagine all the calls you would get........but maybe that would be too many friends......that may be a bad idea.......scratch that for now...

i hope you get to watch bones........and greys anatomy........

I have missed you so much honey! Glad to know you are doing well and hope you can chat with us soon enough! You are in my thoughts dear!
Loves.

I haven't been on here too often, but when I was, I missed you here and on LJ. Glad you like your job, but I hope that you get internet soon so we can see you more often.

Hey Deb!!!

Congratulations on the job. So lucky to get such a great one straight after uni!

Thanks for the update, Deb! I'm glad to hear that things are going so well for you and you're liking your new job and your new place! I hope you get some cable and internet soon. We miss you around here!!
